----------------- Introduction

Overview

The KVM Switch SW0206C, SW0207A, SW0407C and

SW0408A are computer switches that allow access to

two or four IBM compatible computers from one PS/2

keyboard, mouse and monitor. Switching between

computers is as easy as pressing the push button or

entering hot-key commands from your keyboard. There

is no interface card and software to install and the switch

is independent of the computer operating system.

Ready to run right out of the box, this kit comes with

everything you need - a switch and complete cable sets,

just hook them up and go. By allowing one console to

manage all your computers, the SW0206C, SW0207A,

SW0407C and SW0408A eliminate the expense for extra

consoles, the spaces for extra peripherals and the time

hopping around for accessing different computers.

SW0207A allows one microphone and speaker to be

shared by two computers and SW0408A allows four.
